Suppose a multiprocessor system has 8 equal capability processors. The OS supports multi-threading by providing up to 8 kernel threads per application program and uses many-to-many model to map user threads to kernel threads. Suppose a multithreaded application with 12 threads is currently running on the system. Assuming there is no other process on the system, and hence no context switch overhead, do you think 100% processor utilization is achievable throughout the life of this process? It is also assumed that not all kernel threads can block at the same time. Explain.
